Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
We successfully extracted three streets of value with two pair, though we should have shoved the river to maximize our return.

Continuing to bet is correct as we still hold a significant equity advantage against the SB's range of top pairs and draws. **Ranges:** The SB's range is condensed toward hands like Ah7h or KcTs. We have a value advantage here, as our two pair beats almost all of their calling range except for rare slow-played sets or A4/A6. **Sizing:** The 6.2BB bet (50% pot) is reasonable, though the solver prefers a slightly larger sizing (around 66% pot) to set up a cleaner river shove given the shallowing SPR. **Plan:** On most river bricks, we are looking to get the rest of the money in. We need to be cautious if a heart or a spade completes a flush, as that shifts the nut advantage toward the SB. --- > **Takeaway:** When you have a strong but vulnerable hand, continue betting to extract value and protect your equity against a range heavy with draws.
While betting is correct, we should have moved all-in. The 4s completes the spade flush, but our specific hand strength and the pot geometry make a shove the highest EV play. **Math:** With an SPR of 0.73, we are effectively committed. Betting 18.6BB into 24.8BB is nearly our entire stack; moving all-in simplifies the decision and ensures we maximize value from sticky Ax or Kx hands. **Board:** The board pairing the 4 is generally good for us as it reduces the likelihood of Villain having sets, though it does make flushes possible. Since we don't hold a spade, Villain can have more flushes like 9s8s. **Sizing:** An all-in is the preferred GTO sizing here. It puts the maximum pressure on Villain's bluff-catchers and realizes our full equity when we are ahead. --- > **Takeaway:** In low SPR situations on the river, prefer all-in shoves over large bets to maximize value and simplify the game tree.
Note: You should have moved all-in here; at this SPR, a shove maximizes value against Ax and Kx while preventing Villain from potentially folding to a non-shove sizing.
